Tufa Towers, Grasses, Mono Lake Tufa State Reserve, California

Tufa Towers, Grasses, Mono Lake Tufa State Reserve, California, 1985. Published In "Drylands: The Deserts of North America," by Philip Hyde, 1987. Nationally toured as part of the Mono Lake Project Exhibit to protect the water supply and replenish the declining lake level. Visitors to Mono Lake today can observe the success of the conservation project but will find the tufa towers nearly all submerged as they were in their natural state in historic times.
